One after another, figures shuttled through the forest. Everyone in Kato Dan's team had serious faces and focused eyes, and kept moving as fast as they could.
Captain Kato Dan was walking at the front, scanning the surrounding hidden places with his sharp eyes to avoid being ambushed by the enemy, while thinking about various matters related to this mission in his mind.
This mission that I just received in the middle of the night is a reconnaissance mission. The purpose is to find out a weak link in the overall defense line of Yu Ren. It is also a deeply hidden stronghold.
Kato Dan knew clearly that the reason why the higher-ups entrusted him with such a task was simply because they took a fancy to his powerful reconnaissance ability using the technique of spiritual transformation.
At least he didn't have any dissatisfaction.
Rather, it would be better to say that Kato Duan was delighted to be able to take on such an important task.
Obtaining information about that place is not only very important to Kato Dan personally, because it means an improvement in his performance and can make him one step closer to Hokage.
Similarly, it is also very important for the village, because it involves the village's next strategic plan, including a series of offensive and defensive deployments for Yuyin Village.
Regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, Kato Dan knew the importance of this mission, so he did not dare to relax at all and kept his nerves tense throughout the process.
The atmosphere of the entire team was affected by the captain, and it became a bit chaotic. Ordinary team members did not dare to speak.
Of course, Akimichi Teiza is not included in the category of "ordinary team members". After all, he thinks that he has a good relationship with Kato Dan, otherwise he would not join the other party's team temporarily.
Akimichi Tingza is just a little fat guy this year. His character is always lively and cheerful as the Akimichi clan, so naturally he can't stand such a tense atmosphere.
So, while traveling in silence, Akimichi Tingzao spoke up: "Jan, how far is it?"
Akimichi Tingza's tone was a little irritable when he spoke, but more of it was excitement that couldn't be hidden.
Since there is a possibility of fighting with the rain ninja, the rating of this mission is A level, and for Akimichi Choza, an A level mission is enough to arouse his expectations.
Hearing the voices behind him, Kato Suan tilted his head slightly and showed a gentle smile: "It's still early, it will be good if we can get there tomorrow night."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ding. There will definitely be a chance for you to perform when the time comes."
In fact, these were just polite words from Kato Dan. If possible, he had no desire to fight the enemy within the rain ninja's sphere of influence.
The reason why I say that is just because Akimichi Dingzao is the key training target of the Akimichi clan, and there is a vague feeling that he will be the leader of the Akimichi clan.
Kato Sudan has always been quite dignified, so he doesn't mind saying some nice words at this time to maintain a good relationship with Akimichi Choza.
"What, do we have to wait until tomorrow night?" Akimichi Tingzao first snorted impatiently, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked Kato Suan with a curious look on his face:
"By the way, Duan, didn't you meet Master Jueying two days ago? Can you tell me about him?"
"What?" Kato Dan looked at Akimichi Dingza in a funny way and said jokingly: "Do you also admire that guy?"
Akimichi Dingza was not embarrassed and said frankly: "In Konoha nowadays, there should be quite a few people who admire him."
After saying that, Akimichi Tingzao's eyes seemed to radiate some kind of yearning light, "At the age of seventeen, in just one fight, he was able to defeat Sanshouyu Hanzo and make him retreat again and again."
"At such an age, he can turn the tide of the war with one person. Not only have I never seen such a ninja, but there has never been one in the history of Konoha."
After saying that, Akimichi Tingza laughed and continued without hesitation: "In two or three years, I will be seventeen. By then, if I can be half, no, one-third of Jueying-sama,
I am satisfied with my strength.”
Akimichi Dingza's speech seemed to slightly relieve the tense atmosphere around him. Another person in the team couldn't help but said:
"Don't say one-third, Ding Zuo, I think you can have one-fifth of Master Jueying's strength in two years."
This person is a civilian ninja and a "die-hard fan" of Zeuei. Naturally, he cannot tolerate Akimichi Choza "belittling" his idol in this way.
Having said that, since Lei Luo's identity was exposed, he has almost become the leader of the younger generation in Konoha, and his reputation far exceeds that of the young Sannin. After all, he once defeated Tsunade and Jiraiya in the blink of an eye in front of everyone.
.
And because Lei Luo does not belong to the family ninja in the traditional sense, he is admired by a large number of young civilian ninjas, which even he himself is not aware of.
"One-fifth?" Akimichi Dingzao's face darkened, he turned his head and said in a deep voice to the person who spoke:
"After all, I am also the young patriarch of the Akido clan. Are you looking for trouble when you look down on me so much?"
Akimichi Teiza's tone of voice was not very good, and his fat face was full of resentment. If combined with his huge body, he looked quite scary.
But the young ninja who spoke was obviously not frightened, and happened to have some opinions about Akimichi Choza.
Seeing that Akimichi Tingzao was not convinced, he immediately taunted: "To say one-fifth is a compliment to you. You didn't see Master Jueying show his strength that night."
"That night, Tsunade overestimated her abilities and challenged Lord Juekage, and guess what?" The young ninja unconsciously widened his eyes, with an expression of wonder on his face.
"From the entrance of the camp to about ten meters behind Tsunade, there must be dozens of meters in between, right?"
As if to prove the authenticity of his words, the young ninja moved his hands in an exaggerated manner, spitting and saying: "In an instant, just an instant, Lord Juekage crossed that distance, and then Tsunade was defeated.
"
"To be honest, I don't even understand how Lord Jueying defeated Tsunade, no..."
Subconsciously patting his ears, the young ninja put on an expression of disbelief and said, "If I hadn't heard that piercing whistle, I wouldn't have even realized that Master Jueying had made a move."
"That woman, Tsunade, was powerless to fight back in front of Master Jueying. That scene at that time... Wow, it really made my heart surge."
Since Akimichi Tingza was not present at the time, he naturally could not imagine what the scene would be like when Lei Luo used triple speed.
At this moment, hearing his companion boasting about Jueying like this, even though he had heard it before, Akimichi Tingzao still couldn't believe it, just because...
"Is he faster than the sound? Is it the teleportation technique?" Akimichi Tingzao looked confused, and subconsciously looked at the captain in front of him, apparently hoping that Kato Dan would give an answer.
Kato Dan noticed Akimichi Teiza's gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said with a helpless smile:
"Sorry, Dingzuo, I didn't see that battle, so I can't tell what technique it was."
After saying that, Kato Dan frowned and thought for a while, then said in an uncertain tone: "But listening to Kusama's description, I feel that it is not the teleportation technique."
"If it were just a teleportation technique, a ninja like Tsunade would not be completely unable to react, nor would the onlookers be able to see clearly."
"Besides, the teleportation technique will not cause much movement when used, let alone faster than the sound." Kato Dan slowly spoke out his analysis, and finally added:
"Maybe it's some kind of unknown blood successor. To be honest, I really don't know much about the boundaries of blood successors."
"Jueying... Lei Luo is too mysterious. I can't guess what his abilities are."
Kato Suan raised his head slightly, his eyes slightly absent-minded, as if he was thinking of the meeting a few days ago.
Lei Luo's intention to obtain the art of spiritual transformation was barely concealed. Kato Dan didn't know why the other party cared so much about his art, but he knew one thing:
For a powerful ninja like Lei Luo, his combat power system would not be too complex. Lei Luo's proposed trade of carriages and horses is enough to show that the spiritual transformation technique is very useful to him, and it is likely to improve his combat power again.
So, is Lei Luo's core ability related to the spirit and soul? Does that legendary super-speed state contain some unknown secret?
